The World of Battle:
"Dou Zhi Li, 3 levels!"
The young man was expressionless as he looked at the dazzling words on the Magic Testing Stone Tablet. A self-deprecating smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Due to the strength he used, his slightly sharp nails had deeply pierced into his palm, causing waves of heart-piercing pain…
"Xiao Yan, Dou Zhi Li, three levels! [Level: Low] A middle-aged man beside the Demon Testing Stone Tablet glanced at the information displayed on the stone tablet and announced it in an indifferent tone…
The middle-aged man's words had just left his mouth when, as expected, it caused a mocking commotion in the crowded square.
"Third level? Hehe, just as I expected, this "genius" has been making no progress this year!”
"Sigh, this piece of trash has really thrown away the face of the family.”
"If it wasn't for the fact that the clan leader is his father, this kind of trash would have long been chased out of the clan and left to fend for himself. How would he have the chance to stay in the clan and eat and drink for free?”
"Sigh, how did that genius youth who was famous in Wu Tan City fall into such a state?”
"Who knows? Maybe he did something wrong and angered the gods…"
The disdainful laughter and regretful sighs that came from the surroundings fell into the ears of the youth who was standing rooted to the ground like a wooden pole. It was as if sharp thorns were stabbing into his heart, causing the youth's breathing to quicken slightly.
The young man slowly raised his head, revealing a delicate and tender face. His pitch-black eyes numbly swept across the mocking peers around him. The self-deprecating smile on the young man's lips seemed to have become even more bitter.
"Are these people all so mean and powerful? "Perhaps it was because they had once revealed their most humble smiles in front of me three years ago. Therefore, I now want to return them…" Xiao Yan smiled bitterly. He turned around in a desolate manner and quietly returned to the last row of the group. His lonely figure was somewhat out of place with the surrounding world.
"Next, Xiao Mei!"
A young lady quickly ran out of the crowd when she heard the examiner's shout. The young lady had just appeared when the surrounding discussions became much softer. Pairs of fiery gazes firmly locked onto the young lady's face…
The young lady was only around fourteen years old. Although she was not considered a stunning beauty, her childish little face contained a faint charm. The combination of purity and charm, as well as the contradiction, allowed her to successfully become the focus of everyone's attention…
The young girl quickly stepped forward, her small hand touching the pitch-black magic stone tablet with familiarity, and then slowly closed her eyes…
After the young lady closed her eyes for a moment, the pitch-black demonic stone tablet lit up again…
"Dou Zhi Qi: 7 Duan!"
"Xiao Mei, Dou Zhi Qi: 7 Duan! Level: Advanced!"
"Yay!" Hearing the results announced by the examiner, the girl's face raised into a smug smile…
"Tsk tsk, 7 Duan Qi, that's really amazing. At this rate, I'm afraid that she will only need three years at most to become a true Dou Zhe…"
"As expected of a seed level figure in the clan…"
Hearing the envious voices coming from the crowd, the smile on the young girl's face grew even more. Vanity, this was a temptation that many girls could not resist…
While chatting and laughing with her usual friends, Xiao Mei's gaze suddenly passed through the surrounding crowd and stopped on a lonely figure outside the crowd…
Frowning and pondering for a moment, Xiao Mei dismissed the thought of going over. The two of them were no longer on the same level. With Xiao Yan's performance in the past few years, he would at most be a lower level member of the clan when he reached adulthood. As for her, who had outstanding talent, she would become a strong person that the clan would focus on nurturing. Her future could be said to be limitless.
" Sigh…" Xiao Mei let out a soft sigh. The image of the high-spirited young man from three years ago suddenly appeared in her mind. He was practicing Qi at the age of four, had 9 Duan Qi at the age of ten, and had broken through to 10 Duan Qi at the age of eleven. He had successfully formed a Dou Qi Cyclone and became the youngest Dou Zhe in the family in a hundred years!
Back then, the young man was confident and had immeasurable potential. Countless young girls had fallen in love with him. Of course, this included Xiao Mei.
However, the path of a genius was always full of twists and turns. Three years ago, this young genius whose reputation had reached the peak suddenly received the cruelest blow in his life. Not only did the Dou Qi vortex that he had painstakingly cultivated for over ten years disappear overnight, but the Dou Qi in his body had also strangely become less and less as time passed.
The direct result of the disappearance of Dou Zhi Qi was that his strength would continue to decline.
From the altar of a genius, he had fallen to a level where he was not even comparable to an ordinary person overnight. This kind of blow caused the young man to lose his soul from then on. The name of a genius was also gradually replaced by disdain and ridicule.
The higher one stood, the harder one fell. This fall might not give him the chance to get up again.
"Next, Xiao Xun Er!"
In the noisy crowd, the tester's voice sounded again.
As this elegant name rang out, the crowd suddenly quieted down. Everyone's gazes suddenly shifted.
A young girl in a purple dress stood elegantly in the center of everyone's attention. Her calm and tender face did not change even a little because of everyone's attention.
The young lady's cold and indifferent temperament was like a lotus that had just bloomed. At such a young age, she already had a refined temperament. It was hard to imagine how beautiful this young lady would be when she grew up in the future…
In terms of beauty and temperament, this purple-dressed girl was undoubtedly even better than Xiao Mei. It was no wonder that everyone present acted like this.
The young lady named Xiao Xun Er walked in front of the stone tablet with a slight movement. She extended her small hand and her purple sleeve, which was inlaid with black gold threads, slid down, revealing a fair and delicate wrist. After which, she lightly touched the stone tablet…
After a moment of silence, a dazzling light bloomed on the stone tablet again.
"Dou Zhi Qi: Stage 9! [Level: Advanced]
As they looked at the words on the stone tablet, the entire place fell silent.
"…He actually reached Stage Nine. How terrifying! The number one person in the younger generation of the clan was likely none other than Miss Xun Er.”After the silence, the surrounding youths could not help but swallow their saliva. Their eyes were filled with respect…
Dou Qi was the path that every Dou Zhe had to take. The initial Dou Qi was divided into 1 to 10 stages. When one's Dou Qi reached the 10th stage, one would be able to form a Dou Qi vortex and become a respected Dou Zhe!
In the crowd, Xiao Mei frowned as she stared at the purple-dressed girl in front of the stone tablet. A hint of jealousy flashed across her face…
As he looked at the information on the stone tablet, a rare smile appeared on the indifferent face of the middle-aged examiner by the side. He respectfully said to the young lady,"Miss Xun Er, you should be able to form a Dou Qi Whirlpool in half a year. If you succeed, you will become a true Dou Zhe at the age of fourteen. You will be the second person in the Xiao clan within a hundred years!”
Yes, the second person, the first person, was Xiao Yan, who had lost his genius halo.
"Thank you." The young lady nodded slightly. Her calm little face did not show any joy because of his praise. She quietly turned around and slowly walked to the front of the dispirited youth at the back of the crowd under the heated gazes of the crowd.
"Xiao Yan ge-ge." When she passed by the young man's side, the young lady paused her footsteps and bowed respectfully to Xiao Yan. Her pretty face actually revealed an elegant smile that caused the surrounding young ladies to be jealous.
"Do I still have the right to let you call me that?”Xiao Yan spoke bitterly as he eyed the pearl in front of him that had already grown into the most dazzling pearl in the clan. She was one of the extremely few people who still maintained respect for him even after he had fallen into a dire situation.
"Xiao Yan ge-ge, in the past, you once told Xun Er that one must be able to let go before they can pick up.”Xiao Xun 'er smiled and said gently. Her slightly tender voice was warm.
"Hehe, Free Man? I only know how to talk. Do I look like a free person now? Besides…this world doesn't belong to me in the first place.”Xiao Yan laughed in a self-mocking manner as he spoke with waning interest.
Faced with Xiao Yan's dispirited expression, Xiao Xun Er's slender eyebrows slightly knit together as she seriously said: "Xiao Yan ge-ge, although I don't know what is going on with you, Xun Er believes that you will stand up once again and take back the glory and dignity that belongs to you…" When she said this, she paused for a moment."The Xiao Yan ge-ge back then was indeed very attractive…"
" Haha…" The young man laughed awkwardly in the face of the young girl's undisguised honesty. However, he did not say anything else. He had wasted the young man's life. However, the current him did not have the right or the mood to do so. He turned around desolately and slowly walked out of the square…
Xiao Xun 'er stood at the same spot and looked at the lonely back of the young man. She hesitated for a moment, then quickly caught up with the young man amidst the jealous howls of wolves.
